Remington was still in a daze when a barrage of lethal glares shot towards him the moment the elevator doors slid open. He couldn't help but feel as if the temperature inside the elevator had plummeted several degrees.
Nelson's face turned stormy. He had always harbored doubts about Remington's qualities as a husband, especially when he was off with another woman while his wife was going through a difficult labor. Previously, due to the lack of familial ties, Nelson had refrained from intervening. But now, upon discovering that Lizetta was his own granddaughter, he was seething with rage, itching to give Remington a piece of his mind.
The Maddens hadn't even started to settle their score with Remington, and here he was, trying to charm his way back to his innocent and kind-hearted granddaughter! This was utterly intolerable!
Stepping forward, Nelson grabbed Remington by the arm and yanked him out of the elevator, his voice booming with anger. "You're already divorced, and yet here you are, dragging her into your mess again. The Dashiells might be one of the top families in Zion City, but have you no decency?"
The arm Nelson had grabbed was the one that had been scalded. With Nelson's grip tightening in anger, Remington felt a piercing pain that soaked his back with cold sweat before Nelson dragged him out of the elevator forcefully.
"Grandpa Nelson, his arm is burnt..." Lizetta instinctively followed them out, her concern evident in her voice.
The next moment, she caught the intense, burning gaze Remington shot her way. Lizetta averted her gaze, frowning slightly. Seeing her avoid him, Remington's lips curved into a slight smirk. The agonizing pain he had just experienced somehow seemed worth it.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
